Mediation/Arbitration

Barristers at Cloisters recognise that going to court or tribunal is by no means the only way of resolving disputes. Alternative means of dispute resolution are becoming increasingly important, particularly at work, in commerce and sport. Evidence is growing that mediations are a cheaper and more satisfactory way for clients to secure acceptable outcomes in resolving disputes.

Cloisters' mediation team, led by former Lord Justice of Appeal Sir Stephen Sedley, offers expert assistance in all forms of mediation and arbitration, whether acting as an independent mediator or arbitrator or acting for clients.

Our barristers are friendly, flexible and quick thinking - just what Cloisters barristers are renowned for - and bring their innate sense of fairness, experience and authority to mediation.

We have a team of trained mediators with experience at every level of seniority.

Cloisters is situated in the heart of London. In many cases, we are able to offer our conveniently arranged conferencing suite for the mediation, saving you and your client valuable time and expense. All of our conference rooms have a hearing loop and wifi.

The main entrance for visitors is on Elm Court. The conference suite is also accessed from Elm Court. For a Google map showing where the Temple is in London please click here.
